My client is going to get bank loan for his son's education at abroad. Can my client claim the tuition fee paid at abroad under section 80C
06 August 2014
Section 80C deduction for tuition fee is not available for studies abroad. However your client can claim deduction of interest on education loan u/s 80E starting from the year in which such interest was first paid till seven assessment years or repayment of education loan in full whichever is earlier. There is no restriction u/s 80E as to whether the education is carried out in India or abroad.
